"Eh, it’s appeared?!"

Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but be greatly invigorated, quite surprised.

He hadn’t expected that he had only entered the forging room and done nothing, yet the Full Level Conditions for an [Apprentice Forger] had appeared.

This was much simpler than learning martial arts by far!

It was evident that for different professions or skills, the conditions to trigger Full Level Cheats were completely different.

For occupations like archers and blacksmiths, Fang Zhixing only needed to come into contact with related items or enter a specific environment to quickly trigger success.

However, for complex and profound arts like blade skill or martial arts, the conditions were much more stringent.

"Old Mo, come here!"

Wu Sanliang stood at the door, surveying the entire forging room, and his gaze suddenly fell on a middle-aged, robust man with a thick beard.

The robust man seemed to be in his forties, over 1.8 meters tall, with a bare chest and well-developed muscles, his skin tanned and glossy from the constant exposure to the forge.

"Oh, Manager Wu, you’ve come," the middle-aged man hurried over with a smile plastered on his face, enthusiastically nodding and bowing.

Wu Sanliang nodded and said solemnly, "Let me introduce you, this is our new Incense Master Fang Zhixing. He also aspires to become a Forging Master and is willing to start learning from scratch."

The robust man’s expression changed, and he quickly bowed excessively, saying respectfully, "I pay my respects to Incense Master Fang!"

"No need for such formality," Fang Zhixing nodded in acknowledgment.

Wu Sanliang continued, "His name is Mo Tongjing. He has been a certified Forging Master for more than ten years now, and he is the most skilled craftsman in this forging room. He will be teaching you the art of forging. How does that sound?"

Fang Zhixing certainly had no objections and quickly lowered his stance, cupping his hands and saying, "Master Mo, I’m still a newcomer, so I may need a lot of guidance in the future."

"Not at all, not at all," Mo Tongjing said, panic-stricken, continuously waving his hands.

Wu Sanliang smiled and said, "Well then, you two can start now. I’ll take my leave first."

Fang Zhixing nodded, "I appreciate it, Manager Wu. You’ve worked hard. Please go ahead with your duties."

Wu Sanliang bowed and left.

Afterward, Fang Zhixing followed Mo Tongjing to a casting bench.

Mo Tongjing explained earnestly, "To do good work, one must first sharpen one’s tools. What we forgers do is help others create the best tools.

The art of forging, in a nutshell, is ’slow work produces fine products.’"

The whole process includes nine steps: material selection, pre-heating, forging, filing, quenching, tempering, grinding, decorating, and inspection."

"I’m about to forge a Second Level breastplate and will teach you step by step from material selection, the first step."

Fang Zhixing was eager to learn.

"The main materials for forging a Second Level breastplate are Bin Iron, mixed with a certain ratio of Mithril, Mountain Copper, and fine gold to enhance hardness, toughness, and corrosion resistance."

Mo Tongjing, focused, chose the necessary materials from the warehouse, checked their quality, weighed them, and then placed them into the fire to smelt.

"The second step is pre-heating, heating and melding the different materials together as one unit."

"The third step, forging, is the most laborious, requiring repeated folding and forging, and then continuously striking and stretching the material to shape it."

...

Fang Zhixing was absorbed in learning and soon reached the forging stage, taking a hammer from Mo Tongjing’s hand.

[2, Find a hammer that has been used for over 10 years (Complete)]

Ding ding dang dang!

Fang Zhixing swung the hammer, methodically hammering the metal.

Mo Tongjing offered guidance from the side.

Fang Zhixing, a martial master of Great Python Realm Perfection, had precise control over his strength and mastered the nuances almost immediately.

The rhythm of the hammering became more even and lively.

[3, Strike at least 3000 times (Complete)]

And so, ten days flew by.

A brand-new breastplate was finally forged.

Beautiful patterns and gildings were etched on the breastplate’s surface, which made it look very ornate and luxurious.

Moreover, the top half of the breastplate featured two raised bulges, clearly indicating that it was designed for a woman to wear.

Mo Tongjing lifted the breastplate, carefully inspected it, and nodded, "It should be good now. Let’s have someone wear it and test it."

Soon enough, a maid was called over and she put on the breastplate.

Mo Tongjing clenched his fist and struck the breastplate three heavy blows, creating a thudding sound.

The maid was knocked back with each hit, falling to the ground, but she quickly got up, indicating she was alright.

The breastplate remained intact, with no dents.

"Mmm, it passes!"

Mo Tongjing smiled contentedly and took a deep breath.

Being of the Power Transmission Realm, anything his fist couldn’t damage undoubtedly met the Second Level strength.

[1, Witness the entire process of a weapon being forged from raw materials (Complete)]

"Good, another one completed!"

Fang Zhixing’s mouth curved slightly upward as he then asked Mo Tongjing for the job of inspecting the weapons.

The task was relatively simple; Mo Tongjing had no issue with it and first allowed him to check a batch of First Level weapons forged by official apprentices.

Fang Zhixing was pleased with this arrangement.

Condition 4 only required inspecting the weapons, without specifying that they had to be Second Level; therefore, First Level was also acceptable by default.

He immediately got to work, picking up a chopper, examining its shape, weighing for balance, and finally swinging the chopper to cut into a wooden post.
